Mandala Murders tops Netflix India charts; creator Gopi Puthran credits mythical roots for success
“India is a country that is deeply connected and awed by its roots. Myths are embedded deep within our DNA because of the stories that were handed down over generations by our elders which is why we instantly connect to content with such tonality. What is really heartening to see is how Mandala Murders has connected with people’s psyche due to this. Partnering with Netflix that has incredible reach across the country has enabled Mandala Murders to be sampled by those who would like to consume content laced with myths and mysteries of India,” Puthran said.
He further added, “Globally too, audiences who are curious about India’s mythical identity are binge-watching the show. It is really incredible to see towns and smaller cities of India also take to Mandala Murders due to this factor. If we are true to our identity, there will be takers for shows like Mandala Murders or Mirzapur which also showed that people want to connect to authentic and disruptive storytelling that is rooted. So, we are thrilled with the huge success of Mandala Murders and I’m sure many more makers will now be now encouraged to explore stories and deliver them in this genre.”

With its mix of myth, mystery, and small-town intrigue, Mandala Murders demonstrates how Indian storytelling, deeply rooted in cultural and mythical identity, can captivate audiences both domestically and internationally.
